Very nice !!


I'd never hunt that rifle. Too pretty.

I have 3, in '06.

They aren't too pretty to hunt with.

Trust me..... smile

But do I want to hunt the 1.25MOA, the 1 MOA, or the inch groups at 300 yards rifle (I haven't shot it for group at 100 yet....)



I probably won't either, at least much. I have two Super Grades, one in .30-06 and one in .270. They are very pretty and extremely well made. But they are heavy. I've got Leupold VX-5HD 2-10x40s on each. They're really heavy.

I had been hunting with a 50's vintage Mannlicher Schönauer .30-06 with a 70s vintage Weaver K4 in a Paul Jaeger QD mount handed down to me by my Grandfather. But that gun is retired while it's in good shape to hand down to my son. I bought a Ruger M77 stainless boat-paddle stocked .30-06 years ago that I also gave to my son recently and replaced with a Browning X-Bolt Composite Stalker. So my X-Bolt will be my primary hunting .30-06. My Super Grade, X-Bolt and Mannlicher are my only .30-06s.
